Feedback

  • One of the best - excellent speakers, clear and focused.
  • Extremely informative and to the point.
  • A very good introductory webinar for the new season which raised several questions about how to move beyond current thinking.

Overview

On the eve of the national Housing Design Awards, we began our Autumn/Winter series of HAPPI Hour webinars by bringing together leading European researchers, architects and commissioners to share how local communities are taking forward age-friendly design.

Supported by P+HS, the webinar brought together:

  • Researchers from the HOUSE Project in Belgium, and their recent white paper on housing, well-being and older people, sharing some of their insights and findings from this four year project, and the practical tools to support a clear call to action
  • P+HS Architects present their most recent work on age-friendly design
  • And North Yorkshire Council will share how they are broadening their Extra Care offer to bridge the gap with social care and meet the needs of their locality.
